the carbon based mistake is zine publishing venture by Marc Calvary.

It currently takes the form of zines, photography, writing, blasphemy, design, and printing.
Eternally residing in new york, the carbon based mistake has won the Writers Digest award for Best Art Design, has been featured in Print Magazines Regional Design Annual from 2003-2006, as well as issues 5, 6, and 7 of the Austrian design journal +rosebud.

Marc Calvary went into a hibernation and an extended spiral of depression that lasted almost 6 years.
Very rarely publishing and usually only being a contributor to other creator's projects, he finally decided to stop being such a damn baby and get back to work.
the carbon based mistake is once again up and running with a new website and a variety of new material as of mid-2011.

New zines have included various concepts and ideas such as one called Societal Monsters that associates of Christians with serial killers and child molesters,
to photographs of peoples medicine cabinets collected in Undercover Ablutions. There have been photographic essays with fake subway signs and rants of horrible commuters documented in The Straphanger's Noose and a children's story The Thin White Duke and The Beatle about a shark hunting adventure at the Hudson River with Paul McCartney and David Bowie. As well as stickers and buttons and other odd items.
